My experience is that on any road surface, save smooth concrete, the DCS III interprets every single bump as the beginning of an oversteer and starts compensating, particularly on hard acceleration and cornering. I find the car much more “stable” without the stability control on. Contradictory I know but my experience is that the DSC is too sensitive. Probably a function of erring on the side of safety at the cost of performance. Tires, as Z8Mania has suggested may play a part as well, but try driving without the DSC on. I’ll be interested to hear your views.

Anyone got any ideas on how to improve the handling ?
It's pissing me off a bit. Had the car up to 140 mph the other day and it didn't feel as glued to the road as the Z3M at the same speed.
